* Carlos E. R. (robin1.listas@tiscali.es) [021031 09:26]: -> ->Fetchmail fetches from your account, and forwards to sendmail for local ->delivery. This checks the domain of the poster, and rejects the mail if it ->doesn't exist. The recomended action is a "temporary failure", as they ->told you here; but that does not make sense when fetching from a pop/imap ->account, as it will remain there for ever. It makes sense on a server, ->because the sender will eventually give up or correct the address. -> ->You could disable that feature in sendmail, somehow. Otherwise, try to add ->this line: -> Try installing procmail. Make a barebones procmailrc that looks something like this... ---cut--- ########################### # procmail config varables ########################### PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:. MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmail_log VERBOSE=no # For duplicate mails and dumbass's who CC me. :0 Whc: msgid.lock | formail -D 8192 .msgid.cache :0 a: $HOME/Mail/duplicates # All other stuff goes directly to Inbox :0 * Incoming ---cut--- Along with this small .procmailrc you can add this line to your .fetchmailrc. --cut-- mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" --cut-- This line in the fetchmailrc will tell fetchmail to hand off all email to procmail. The procmailrc above basically filters duplicate emails and dumps the rest into your incoming mailbox. You can change where it dumps it as you see fit. I'm sure you know where your email is getting put when it arrives. :) This will keep fetchmail from handing off newly recieved email to sendmail since it's unable to do what you want. This way you can use sendmail as a null client that will only send outgoing email. :) Cheers! -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..
